America’s Cup “our obsession” says Luna Rossa skipper

Some powerful and intensely evocative words from the Italian skipper of the Luna Rossa Challenge Max Sirena as he makes it clear the Prada-backed Challenger of record is not there just to make up the numbers in the 36th America’s Cup cycle.

I just want to make sure this is clear for everyoneEspecially the new guysWe are not in this cup to make an attemptThis cup is not a rehearsal for future racesThis cup is not 3 years from nowThis cup will be won in the nowWe will push our limitsAnd we are going to win this cup every dayThis cup will be our obsessionOur dreamOur blessingOur curseThis cup will be our everythingEvery day, every night, every hour, every secondThis cup will be our family for the next 3 yearsWe are Luna RossaAnd we areChallengers, for now

Well said Max! Its great to see some passion and emotion emanating from the America’s Cup syndicates – more of this please!
